地道英语对话：Warning about Late Rent Payment(2)

A: Hi, this is Nicole.
B: Hi, Nicole. Richard here. I think you've got a good idea why I'm calling.
A: Yes. It's about the rent, isn't it?
B: Yes, your rent is late. This is the second month in a row.
A: But I thought that I had a grace period.
B: I told you last month that the rental¹ agreement contains no grace period.
A: Oh, I guess I was thinking about the last place that I lived.
B: Well, tell me when I'm going to get your rent.
A: I get paid tomorrow, so you'll get the check by Monday.
B: Don't forget to include the $50 late fee.
A: Are you sure a late fee is in the rental agreement?
B: How could you miss the late fee? It's circled in red ink!
